Bryce Harper is the reigning National League MVP, but doesn't see himself as a leader of the Washington Nationals.

"I don't think I'm a leader," Harper said. "I think I'm more just a guy playing the game. I think J-Dub [Jayson Werth] and Zimm [Ryan Zimmerman] and all those guys are the leaders, those guys that are going to go about it every single day and do the things that they think is right for this team."

Dusty Baker echoed Harper's sentiments.

"He has leadership potential, but he's not a leader yet," Washington's new skipper said of his 23-year old star outfielder. "How many people are going to follow the youngest kid in the room? And just because you're the most talented doesn't mean that you're the leader. I don't think it's really fair to even put that on him. I think he has some good examples for the day when he does take over a leadership role because he's learned how from J-Dub and from [Max] Scherzer, from Zimmerman, and I think he's learned some things from [Jonathan] Papelbon. I've always said that leaders are anointed, they're not appointed."
